First time I used Havoline full synthetic ATF (about the same as a 5w or 7w "Fork Oil"), several hundred miles later I did them again, this time with Mobil 1 ATF (again comparable to about a 5w or 7w "Fork Oil")... going to go another few hundred miles and do them a third time*... again with whatever (synthetic) ATF I have on had

I'm a lighter rider tho (only 120lbs) so I don't normally need the thicker/expensive weight "Fork Oils"

* Just trying to clean out every last drop of the crap oil from the factory... so every few hundred miles (about 800 or so) I will change out the oil until it starts to come out as clean as I put it in... when I drained out the Havoline it was already gray/black/nasty/chunky looking and that synthetic oil barely had 800 miles on it
